National Cadet Corps (Air)

Introduction

Established in 1999, Dunman NCC Air aims to instill in our cadets
pride and honor. We aim to do our best
in all our endeavors, be it in competitions or involving our cadets in
enriching activities.

In 2018, we received our 16th consecutive Gold Award
for our performance in 2017 in the Best Unit Competition (BUC). In the
Aero-modelling Competition, we achieved 2nd Overall while in the
Orienteering Competition, we achieved 2nd position in our category.
We thank our cadets for their dedication and perseverance in training, and also
the parents and teachers of our cadets for their continuous support.

NCC Air offers
a variety of activities, such as hands-on training at the Republic of Singapore
Air Force (RSAF) fighter and helicopter simulator centres, military plane and
helicopter joyrides, SAR-21 shooting, aeromodelling, proficiency wings courses,
Outward Bound and airbase attachments. In addition, there are also camps such
as Camp Forge, Camp Steel, Senior Specialist Leaders Camp and Combined
Uniformed Groups Camp. The list goes on.

Our cadets
also get the opportunity to embark on events such as Army Open House to enhance
their knowledge on Total Defence.

These
numerous activities act as a platform through which our cadets are exposed to
the various aspects of the RSAF and the military, in the hope that some will be
inspired to reach for the skies to serve as pilots in the RSAF. These
activities also enable our cadets to learn and grow into responsible,
knowledgeable and well-rounded leaders.

As a
uniformed group, drills form an integral part of our training. This is where
respect, discipline, perseverance and sheer grit are inculcated into our
cadets. In this aspect, we are proud to share that our cadets are well-trained
and play an important part in various school parades. In 2017, two of our cadets
also contributed in the 52nd National Day Parade marching contingent.

Our training
is however not limited to the “AIR” syllabus. Our cadets play different sports
such as soccer, combat laser tag and rock-climbing during training to have fun
while at the same time building trust, teamwork and camaraderie between
themselves.

With
growing support from the RSAF, we will continue to seek new avenues to enrich
the NCC Air experience of our cadets and to identify and encourage the next
budding pilot in our midst.
